Abstract:
Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPION) have various applications in a large number of biomedical fields, such us hyperthermia, imaging diagnosis, biosensors and drug delivery [1]. Nowadays, magnetic hyperthermia has attracted significant attention as an alternative method for cancer therapy. The heat generated by magnetic nanoparticles in the presence of RF magnetic field can increase the temperature in tumors in a controlled manner, leading to killing the tumor cells with minimum damage of the normal ones [2]. The surface modification of SPION plays an important role in the interaction between nanoparticles and biological systems. In this context, silica coating, not only enhances colloidal stability, but also makes nanoparticles more biocompatible [3]. In this work, we report the synthesis of superparamagnetic nanoparticles with different particle size and surface modification, as well as their influence in the hyperthermia study. Based on the obtained results, new perspectives on development of new biocompatible and biofunctional SPION NPs for magnetic hyperthermia are highlited
